Paulo Amendoeira is a Portuguese percussionist, curator and improviser splitting between Bern, Lisbon and Alentejo. His music deals with concrete blocks made out of sound and noise. Broadly speaking, it is about the need to decelerate, both for himself and hopefully for his audience as well. Interested in both near silence and harsh noise, he seeks for physical ways of experiencing sound.
Plays with different bands and ensembles (side proYect, ruído blanco, Concrète[Lab], VERINNERLICHUNG), works together with renowned composers from the Neue-Musik scene (Ilona Perger, Simon Steen-Andersen, Michael Maierhof, Ángeles Rojas, Zeynep Toraman), played in festivals across Europe (Manifeste, Gaudeamus, OutFest, blurred edges) and is co-founder of the collectives Unproductive Platforms and Cigarra.
